War on Wool Duties.

Oa the heels CT the Democratic victo-
~ in New York naturally comes an
outburst of free trade appeals for abnli>
ton or reduction of duties. The New
Y ork Times talks first of the wool du>
ty; repeats the old-clotbes Argument
that it is of no benefit to the woolgr0w+
er, and hopes that the mueh>depressed
manufacturer may join in an effort
for free wool. It takes some people a
long time to perceive their self stultif.
cation. If duties on wool do not help
the grower. but make wool cheaper than
1t would be without them, why on earth
should manufacturers make wool dearer
by removing the duties?
The bottom fact in this business is
that wool manufacturers In this cOun
try are bound together in absolute mu-
tual dependence. Even half the present
clip of wool would sell at ruinUnsly low
prices if the manufacture were not de-
Tended from foreign competition. But
American woolgrowing would practical
ly cease, and the manufacturer in this
country would be entirely dependent
upon markets controlled by his foreign
rivals. if the grower were not defended
against foreign competition. What free
trade has done for Great Britain may be
seen in the prostration of British woolN
growers and manufacturers ali le, and
the consumption of wool in that coun-
try, contrasted with the wonderful in
crease in consumption i'll the United
States, remains one of the most cOnclu-
sive proofs that can be offered of the
wisdom of the protective policy.
The Free Trader is hard TO satisfy
When steel rails were so reduced in
price by home competition that part
of the mills were idle, he cried out
that protection was strangling the
steel rail industry. When the demand
revived, and the rails rose enough to set
every mill in tue country at work night
and day, then he cried out that the peo.
pie we're being robbed by monopoly
SO the duty on wool does powerfully
stimulate wool growing; that is its pur-
pose. The great Increase iD production
of wool makes wool cheaper; that, too,
| is exactly wuat Protectiouists promised
! The manufacturer gets his cheap wool,
ard is enabled TO increase the produc-
ti0n of cloth more rapidly in this than
in any other country on earth; that,
again, is exactly what the PTOteciOnists
promised. Finally, the growth OF the
manufacture advances go far that cloth
becomes cheaper here, quality consider
ed, than in Germany o. England, as
Free Trade Agent Schoenhof sadly con-
fesses, but that. also, Is just what Pro
tectionists predicted.
Turn back the hands of the clock.
Messrs. Free Traders, if it is really best
that the country should have more cost.
ly cloth and less work and wages for its
rnen and women in the woollen manu-
facGuTe; more costly wool, and yet SC
small and uncertain a market that farm
ers cauDot afford to keep sheep. That
is the tendency of every assanlt upon
the well>devised system Of duties which
for twenty years has defended both
manufacture and wool growing alike in
harmonious progress.-N. Y. Tribune.

The official crop report of the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture has been
published for the period ending Octo~
Der 81. According to its figures the
acreage of wheat sown for tbs crop of
1888 is about per cent less than that
sown last year. which would make an
estimated difference of three and one
half million bushels in the total Weld
The cause of this is due almost wholly
to the very unfavorable condition of
the ground for planting, owing to the
protracted drouth. The corn crop of
this year is placed at so per cent of a
full average. and the quality at S5 per
ceut. The p tato crop is even worse
bsing only about 30 per cent, and the
apple crop fetches up the rear with but
10 per cent. These figures are much
lower than any that Ohio has seen in
many seasons.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE?

WE USE?
This plain question comes home to
every h0use-kesper. We all desire pure
and wholesome foGd. and this cannot be
had with the use OF impure or poison
GUS baking powder There can be Nc
longer 4 question thae all the cheaper,
lower grade of baking powders coutai n
either alum, lime or phosphate acid .
As 10th as We may bs TO admit SO much
against what may have been some of
our household gods, there can be no
gainsaying the unanimous testimony of
the official chemists. Indeed, analysts
seem to find 10 baking powder entirely
free from some one of these objections
bic ingredients except tbs Royal, and
that they report as chemically pure We
fiud some of the baking powders adVer-
tised as pure, TO contain, under the tests
of Profs. Chandler, Habirsbaw aud 9TH
ers, nearly IL per cent. of lime, while
others are made from alum with no
cream of tartar. This we presume act
counts for their lack OF leavening power
as sometimes complained of by the
cook, ane for the bitter taste found in
the biscuits so frequently CON piained
.of by ourselves.
Bat aside from the inferiority of the
work done by these powders, the ply.
biologists assure US that lime and alum
taken into the system in such quantities
AS This are Injurious. They are nol de.
composed by heat, nor dissolved III mix
ing or baking. They go with the bread,
therefore, into the stomach, where their
physiological! effects are indigestion,
dyspepsia, or worse evils.
The question naturally, arises, why do
these cheap baking powder makers use
these things? Alum is ceuts ID pound,
lime still cheaper, while cream of tar
tar costs 35 or 40. The reasons for the
chemical purity Of the Royal Baking
Powder were recently given in the New
I York Times in an interesting descrip
ton of new method for refining argols,
CT crude cream OF tartar. 1t seems that
it is ouly under this process that cream
of tartar can be freed from the lime nat
ural TO it and rendered chemically pure;
that the patents and plant for this cost
tho Royal Baking Powder Company
about half million dollars. and that
they maintain exclusive cOOtrol of the
rights.
PTuT. McMurtrle, late Chief chemist
'of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, d. c., in the interests of
commerce, made an examination of this
process, aad reported upon the results
attained il the refined cream of tartar.
The following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question re-
peated at the I'D of this article, and
which is 80 frequently prOpounded by
the hOusekeersr:
81 have examined the cream of tartar
used by the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany in the manufacture OF their bak>
ing powder, and find it to be perfectly
pure, aud free from lime in any fern
The chemical tests TO which | have sub
mitted the Royal Baking Powder prove
it perfectly healthful, and free from ev-
cry deleterious substance"

ANOTHER terrible marine disaster is
reported. The Dutch steamer, W. A.
ScholteD, from Rotterdam for New
York, was sunk on Saturday night by a
collision with coal steamer in Dover
straits. a heavy fog prevailed, and of
210 persons on board 1872 were drowned.
Olly twenty minutes elapsed from tie
time Of the collision until the vessel
went down within four miles Of the
Dover pier. The most melancholy thing
about this horror is the fact that the
boats could not be got into the water in
time to save people on the steamer; only
two of the boats were lowered. the 9th
ers it is said. having been useless. Had
the boats been in good working order
and been promptly lowered the loss of
life would have been greatly lessened, If
not altogether prevented.

ALLEGED prohibitIoni9ts tell US they
are not satisfied with the Dow law. that
nothing short of the total extirpatiOn
of the liquor traffic will suit them, and,
in effect, until they get that, they will
have nothing.
Practical temperance men are invited
to study these facts: Before the Dow
law went into operation there were r.
500 liquor saloons in Ohio, as shown by
the records OF the internal revenue Of
fee. Investigation shows there remain
10,58I-a reduction of 2,092, and of that
number 1871 were closed by taxation,
and 521 by the local option feature-a
total of 1902 drinking saloons wiped
out of existence by the Dow liquor law.
What measure ever before adopted in
Ohio has done as much toward suppress
ing the traffic? And then, those that
remain are compelled to contribute So.
100000 in the state and about $4,000 of
that in this county, toward helping to
pay the peoples taxes
This is practical temperance legisla-
tion, and has been SO pronounced by the
people at the ballot~bux. 1t has been
obtained with much difficulty. Im prac-
ticableS on both sides opposed 1.-THE
